Advantages
Why Choose Waterjet Cutting?
Cuts almost anything
Metal, stone, glass, rubber and composites cut cold, on the same table.
No heat-affected zone
Cold cutting means no warping, hardening or discoloration at the edge.
Tech Centre test cuts
We prove cut quality on your own material before the table ships.
Coast-to-coast service
Pump seals, orifices and abrasive stock across Canada and the US keep you cutting.

5-axis waterjet cutting system
HX5-3060 5-Axis
The HX5-3060 5-Axis adds an articulating wrist to Hydravex's waterjet platform, so the cutting head tilts through the kerf and cancels the natural taper a straight jet leaves on thicker material — square edges on parts that would otherwise need a secondary finishing pass. A 90,000 psi direct-drive intensifier pump feeds a single head over a 3000 x 6000 mm (10' x 20') tank bed, cutting metal, stone, glass, tile and composites with the same setup. Because it cuts stone as cleanly as metal, Tollaston also lists this machine under Stone CNC Centres for stone fabricators. The Hydravex FlowLogic control manages taper compensation automatically from the part's material and thickness. Tollaston runs a test cut on your own material, sets up abrasive supply, and trains your programmers.

Waterjet cutting system
HX-2040
The HX-2040 is Hydravex's straight-head waterjet, built for shops that need clean, cold-cut edges on metal, stone, glass, rubber and composites without the cost of a 5-axis head. A 60,000 psi direct-drive intensifier pump feeds a single vertical cutting head over a 2000 x 4000 mm (6.5' x 13') tank bed, cutting material up to 100 mm (4") thick with no heat-affected zone. The Hydravex FlowLogic control drives nesting and pierce sequencing, and an automatic abrasive metering system keeps garnet consumption consistent from part to part. Tollaston runs a test cut on your own material, sets up the abrasive and water supply, and trains your team on programming.

FAQ
Waterjet Cutting Questions
Answers to common questions about our waterjet cutting products.
Stone, glass, tile, thick composites and reflective metals like copper and brass cut cleanly on a waterjet, with no heat-affected zone. It's the only process on our floor that treats metal and stone the same way.
Both run on 600V/3-phase service — 60A for the HX-2040, 100A for the HX5-3060 — plus a steady water supply for the intensifier pump, sized during the site survey.
Garnet abrasive consumption scales with cutting hours and material; pump seals and orifices are scheduled wear items. We estimate a monthly budget from your actual parts mix.
We arrange lease and term financing through our equipment finance partners.

Bridge Saw, Saw-Jet or Waterjet for Countertop Fabrication?
Adding capacity to a countertop shop usually means one of three paths. Here's how to tell which one actually solves your bottleneck instead of duplicating what you already have.

Fiber laser, plasma and waterjet all cut metal, but they get there differently. Here's how to match the process to your material mix, thickness range and tolerance needs instead of guessing.
